Soooooo big!!!

Teddy has crushed another developmental milestone for infants: For the first time, he responded to "How big is Teddy?" with the appropriate "Soooo big!!" arms in the air. When you combine that with his uncanny ability to clap his hands, it's obvious that we have another exceptional child on our hands. Now, if only he could figure out how to sleep through the night. (Note that the Tedster also has two new top teeth to accompany the two bottom teeth.)

As for Margaret, she's working on her numbers and her ABCs. She can count to ten and can almost tie the act of counting to actual things. However, when we stop on the way home to count "tractors" in a big construction site and I ask Margaret how many she sees, she'll correctly count out and point to six of them, but will then proceed to find four imaginary ones. As for the ABCs, her standard rendition goes "A, B, C, D, H, I, K..." So we're lacking a bit there as well, although she always gives a rousing close with "Now I know my ABCs, next time won't you sing with me." She's also working on her "reading" as can be seen in the following video:
